How to Create a Chatbot Without Coding a Single Line

With over one billion active users, Facebook Messenger is leading the charge in online communications. As a result, Messenger chatbots have become a growing trend to be digital avatars for online companies, businesses, and brands. If you are looking to build your own chatbot, with no coding required, try these tools to become a chatbot influencer:

ChattypeopleChattypeople.com, specializing in e-shopping, restaurant, and product deliveries, is at the forefront of chatbot shopping experiences. Their user-friendly interface allows you to quickly set up your chatbot to do exactly what you need it to instead of spending hours or days learning the code. By recognizing specific trigger phrases or common variations of them, the bot will assist the user through product selections, collect their mailing address for quick shipping, and even process payment through secure online merchants like Stripe or PayPal, all from within the conversation window. Instead of scrolling through massive web pages and filling out tedious forms, the entire shopping experience can be handled by the chatbot.

Using Facebook’s push notification system, it can send special offers and hot deals to users and potential customers that have subscribed to the page. With chattypeople’s management tools, you can easily track sales, orders, deliveries, and promotional campaigns from their easy to use dashboard. To top it off, the service is free to sign up for and their starter plan is completely free for the first 100 customers, with affordable plans for larger audiences. Their plans also include professional email support to keep your bot running smoothly at all times.
